Everyone Loves Freddy Kruger Fonzies Spot, We Don't

Apparently, we're the only ones that don't like this Freddy Kruger Fonzies commercial. Everyadblog has this thing up. It was sent to us. We watched it. We said "whatever" and thought we'd move onto something more clever. Nope. Apparently Freddy Kruger has died so many times and been "so over" for so many years it's OK for some horror-hipster creative team to whip up this overly predictable slop. Some like to call it foreshadowing. We like to call it a bad concept. We can just hear the copywriter during the concepting meeting. "Dude, the AE says these Fonzie chips are, like, finger licking good. Check this - we should get that Freddy Kruger dude to lick his fingers in the spot an then have him scream and shit. That would rock!" Not.

Being in Canada, I had no idea Fonzie's were snacks. Imagine my disappointment when I click the video expecting to see a leather jacket-clad Freddy Kruger crashing a party with a resounding "Eyyyyy!" and then heading to the nearest bathroom to set up shop.

So this is not a Happay Days meets Freddy Kruger commercial. I am disappointed. Perhaps the creative team should go back the movies : what about the Scream trilogy ? Or the Saw ? Non-ironic Slasher are old-fashioned.
